Accounting to send request forms to vendors; vendors to provide completed forms for setup process. Once correct contacts are established, EDI will conduct testing. EDI team creates a test PO for all items using the production data set (not test environment) and sends to vendor. Vendor is required to positively validate the information sent and indicate if there are any discrepancies. ALL VENDORS EDI team creates a test PO in BICEPS, and the PO is sent to the vendor. Vendor returns corresponding invoice. EDI Test plans to intercept the invoice using a new report that will compare the invoice against the PO sent and report any errors. ALL VENDORS Some vendors may be selected for roundtrip (BICEPS to Prompt) PO/Invoice testing. This is to test the overall flow of transactions through various business test cases required by accounting.
